MERRY FISHER 1095 | TANA

Check-in available in the afternoon at the Charter offices in the Embarkation Marina. After finishing the quick procedures of taking over the boat (technical check-in) and boarding the galley, you can enjoy an aperitif and dinner near the Marina or alternatively set sail immediately and enjoy the first sailing.

We set sail in the morning and head south towards the island of Zirje, the biggest and southernmost in the Sibenik Archipelago. Known since ancient times for its abundance of fish as well as olive and fig groves, it will enchant you with its natural beauties and suggestive docks in the bays of Velika, Mala and Koromacna. In the evening, you can moor on the south in the bay of Stupica and go ashore for dinner, to try the local cuisine and excellent wines.

From Zirje, we head north towards the Kornati National Park: a natural reserve made up of 89 of the 152 islands constituting the Kornati Archipelago. A sailboat represents one of the few means of transport that can enter this natural paradise, among white jagged coasts washed by an unparalleled crystal clear sea. The islands are almost completely uninhabited, but you can find convenient docks for your lunch break and excellent restaurants where you can enjoy the best local cuisine with super fresh fish specialties in the evening.

We proceed to the north within the spectacular Kornati Archipelago. The marine weather conditions are always optimal for a quiet sailing along the eastern coast of Otok Kornat, among enchanted and secluded bays where we can stop to have lunch, go snorkeling and spend the night in complete relax.

North of Kornat you fill find the wonderful island of Otok Katina, connecting, as its latin name (“chain”) says, the Long Island of Dugi Otok to Kornat. Sailing in this area requires more attention given the presence of some shallow waters, but the bays on the south of the island will reward you with wonderful seabeds and safe docks where you can spend a peaceful night.

After breakfast, we sail to the north until we reach Otok Zut, where we can stop to have lunch and swim in Hiljaca, Saruscica or Bizikovica bay. All three are special for their white pebble beaches and a wild and uncontaminated nature. In the evening, you can moor in the suggestive Luka Zut bay and, if you like to have dinner on the seaside, you can find a convenient mooring at the dock of the elegant Restaurant Festa.

From Otok Zut, we proceed to the east in the direction of the islands of Vrgada, representing one of the most beautiful hidden gems on the Croatian coast. Closed off to mass tourism, this island is surrounded by a spectacular mini archipelago made of 15 islets to explore by boat, and still retains a timeless charm with the perfume of pine trees and beautiful beaches enclosed by olive trees, the perfect place to relax with baths and little shore excursions. Return to port is scheduled for late afternoon.

Disembarkation is scheduled in the early morning after breakfast.
